Ok ok, I see your point. =)

The difference is that Soviet and CSA are defunct nations that existed 
for a relatively short period of time that relatively few people today 
identify themselves with them and would like to play them in Freeciv.

But if you insist, I can commit them to the default nation list. As you 
say, it's not much more historically inappropriate than many of the 
nations we already have (i.e. most modern-only nations.)
